(From the Desk of Senator James E. Risch, April 15, 2026)
This Tax Day, Idahoans can expect to keep more of their hard-earned paychecks.
I was proud to help my Republican colleagues pass the Working Families Tax Cuts Act last year.
This legislation delivered the largest-ever tax cut to working-class households in U.S. history and will save the average Idahoan $3,517 in federal taxes this year.
We eliminated taxes on tips and overtime, expanded the Child Tax Credit, made the small business tax deduction permanent, and provided relief for seniors on Social Security.
We aren’t done yet. I’ll continue working to lower taxes for Idaho families and scrutinize every federal budget to ensure our taxpayer dollars are used responsibly.
